We recently went to Grand Provence for our anniversary dinner . The food was absolutely great and the service was good and very friendly. The menu had a good variety to choose from and the food was excellent, the flavors great and well presented. We had to book in advance to make sure we could be accommodated. Don't pitch up... More

During our time in the South African wine region we were lucky enough to visit a lot of gourmet restaurants. Le Grand Provence was by far the BEST!! We were lucky enough to meet the extremely talented executive chef the night before we dined at which point we already had a reservation so took the opportunity to ask for a... More

Location is very impressive: gardens are beautiful, atmosphere very nice... but what a terrible service. The place was empty but we have been told by the restaurant manager that each single table was reserved, which was not true as per one of his waiters who we talked to at the same time. We were properly dressed I swear. We sat... More

The setting of this wine estate is beautiful. It is a pity that the service is not of a similar standard. We visited during a recent trip to Franschhoek and entered the tasting room with the intention of sampling the wines. Unfortunately, whilst we were initially greeted by the member of staff in the tasting room, he made no effort... More

Excellent (award winning) wines and good high end craft shop. Went as part of a wine tour and would have liked to have spent a bit longer at the estate.

Grande Provence is one of the loveliest wine estates in Franschoek. It's a great visit for those with creative interests as the estate has lovely gardens filled with wonderful sculptures and a great art gallery. The wine and food are a little pricey but are worth it.

I recently went to a function at the Grand Provence Estate and was thoroughly impressed by the beautiful venue with sensational mountainous backdrop. The food was very good and the locally produced red wine was superb. The only word of warning I would give is that this is one of the more expensive venues in Franschoek and there are other... More

The lunch at Grand Provence is a bit pricey, but the food is fantastic. We also enjoyed the gallery, especially the exhibit with works by dozens of artists based on Leonard Cohen songs and poems. Some were good, some were bad, and some were exquisite, but the show as a whole was very interesting.
